I hoped that winsock knew how to handle the ECMAscripts, but you mean that is not the case? So any application that wants to go through a proxy server must be able to retrieve and execute ECMAscripts itself?Winsock knows nothing about proxy servers or high level protocols like HTTP. It is the Windows perversion of the BSD socket API.It seems to be very difficult to handle URL proxy if not winsock does not automatically find and use the proxy server.Why should it be difficult? You configure it, just like in any other program that uses proxies. Unfortunately Emacs does not have an ECMAscript implementation, so pointing it at an auto configuration script is not going to be an option like it is with modern webbrowsers.
Well, I feared this, but I am still a bit surprised. Has anyone done a general solution for this (when there is no web-browser involved)? What does the commercial solutions do?
